Still in Tampa

Still here and getting pretty antsy. Don't know what is going on with Ana, more doctor visits tomorrow and it feels like we are hurrying up to wait. Tests, tests, and more tests and no one tells her anything. Tuesday is her visit with another oncologist and hopefully they can tell her what is going on as no one else seems to, they just order more tests.

I have been working on my external style sheet for days and have followed Dr. Tomer's tutorial and another cohorts instructions but can't seem to get it to show up on my web page. Also when I change the font, background, etc. nothing happens. Don't know what is happening????

The Sunshine State

Day 4 in Tampa and I am sure glad I am visiting and do not have to live here! Spent the day at the cancer center again with Ana. More scans and I keep teasing her that she may be glowing soon with all they are injecting in her. I am really worried about her as they cannot figure out what is wrong and were even looking at more parts of her today. It is really depressing sitting in the waiting room and watching who comes and goes. Today there were two teenagers in there. One has a brain tumor and the other was hooked up to a bunch of iv's and was so young. I just wanted to cry.
This all makes what I worry about seem trivial and selfish. If I could give up all this work and receive a failing grade to make everything alright with Ana, I would. I have been so upset about the last two LIS 2600 assignments because I am totally lost but it means nothing compared to the reality of why we are up here. I just pray nothing is wrong and we can go back home and continue with life.

Tampa Day 3

Kinda stressed out here. I wanted to go home yesterday because of the stress with Ana and then getting my course work finished. Hope it all goes well for her and I get everything done. It does amaze me what she has gone through and no one can determine what is the cause of all her symptoms. Next are mri's and some other scan where they inject her with barium. I feel so sorry for her. I am trying to keep running to reduce the stress and will be out the door in a minute. We are right across the street from the Univ. of South Florida. That is where the cancer center is. They have a beautiful botanical garden and if we are up to it, we will try and get there. I love my plants. Every time I come to the states I am amazed that all of it looks the same. No matter where you are in suburbia, it has the same strip malls, stores, etc. No individuality, kind of sad.

Tampa, Florida

We made it to Tampa and we are getting adjusted. The hotel's wireless is down so we are going to switch hotels tomorrow. Right now we are at the Moffit Cancer Center at the University of South Florida waiting for Ana's first appts. Yes, they are wireless so I am working on my web page and of course not being to successful. Oh well, we just slog on, that is all we can do.

Web Page Frustration

Well, it is another day of frustration. This new web page assignment is way over my head. I have everything, which was not too bad, but the zoomcloud and google search is hard. I have no clue where to put the code or if that is the way to do it. No one is on the discussion board because they are all at Pitt. but us, the VI cohort. I also need to get my book review done by this weekend because I need to go with Ana to Tampa and don't want to worry about that. At least I want the rough draft finished.

Sunday and It's Raining

Finally getting some rain. I think my almond tree is dead but maybe it will be revived if it rains enough. Spent the day working on my web page. I got the feed in it and have added my five images. Now I am working on some other links. I need to finish all this work, this week as I have go with Ana to Tampa for her surgery and will be busy shuttling her between doctor visits, the hospital and hopefully all will be well.

Saturday in the Park

Yeah, I wish I spent the day in a park. Spent about 8 hours at the library working on my web page. I need to finish it this week so I can work on other things. Also, I am sick of it. Trying to get my page published and it taking me so long to figure it out makes me hate this web page. I can barely type in the web address because I saw error 100 times before it would work. Thanks to all the cohorts and the web help desk for helping me get published. Now I need to get all the junk loaded on it and be done. Tomorrow, as I am really tired now.

Web Page Woes

Well, I spent about 6 hours today trying to figure out what is wrong with my web page and cannot. I had several people on the DB helping and no luck. I called Rory and he walked me through it and according to what I have and what he told me to do, I did it correctly. He thinks it is the server. Anyway, I emailed Dr. Tomer, hoping he will rescue me. I always seem to leave a step out. Hope I did not this time but who knows. I need to get on with the rest of the work and cannot until I can get this done. Hope others are not having this dilemma. What a day. Well tomorrow is another day and another dilemma.

Hello,
Still trying to figure out why I cannot get my web page to show up. It is published but I cannot open it. Need help but don't know what to do. I emailed the help desk so hopefully they can open it for me or tell me what I am doing wrong. I am trying to get my reading finished for the book discussion next week. I finished one yesterday and started the second today and hope to finish it tomorrow. That will give me time to read the other two, which are online and I hate to read things online for an extended period. It hurts my bad eyes. I just see light at the end of the tunnel and am ready to go on vacation and see my baby.

Hi,
I am trying to figure out how to make a web page and have not a clue. I am going to make one on word and save it and then try to put it on Kompozer. This is another challenge and I really need help. I have read all the discussions and don't get it. Oh well, I did get next weeks discussion question done and tomorrow I plan on getting the last one finished, and then doing my responses for the hot topic and and this weeks discussion question. THEN, I will work on the web page.
Bye

4th of July??

What a 4th of July this is? The whole point is to celebrate our independence from the British Empire and their politics. Well, I wish we could do that today with the Bush administration. Freedom from those crooks. I would settle for a resignation, impeachment or trying Bush and Cheney for war crimes. They have enough evidence to get any of the 3 but I don't think but a few politicians have to guts to do any of these. Its all about sucking up and protecting yourself so you can win the next election. What is this country coming too?

I finished my discussion question today and tomorrow I will start the next part of LIS 2600. Can't imagine what my web page will be like. Might give Crooksandliars.com or the Huffington Post a run for their money!! That was a joke.

Okay, I need to relax a little and it is really hot so I will slow down a bit.

Bye.

What a Week

Haven't been here in a while. Too busy. It took me 3 days to write my paper for LIS 2000. It was really hard to compare and contrast the books we read. I spent last night reading the book for LIS 2600. I was under the impression that our quiz was on the 5th but when I went to check the announcements this morning, it is today at noon. My guts did a little twist but I am okay now. I get one thing done and 4 others are awaiting me.

We did go to the Mango Melee yesterday and I got my mango ice cream from Armstrongs. I wait every year for it. It is soooo good. I did find a heliconia at the plant sale and we also got a sugar apple tree, mango tree, tangelo tree, soursop and one other I can't remember. We are going to put in a drip system and get a little orchard growing. I look forward to that and all the good fruit.

Okay, need to prepare for the test. I guess that means eating lunch.

Bye.
